View Full Version : "screetch" on call answer via Bluetooth?

I nearly always use a BT headset for calls since the Wing is a pain to hand hold while talking.

Nearly all people I talk to complain of a "screetch" type of sound when I answer a call with my BT headset. I've tried three different headsets, same result. The noise does not happen when I initiate the call, and I cannot hear the noise when I answer the call. at frst I thought it was just a one time event, but callers tell me the problem is consistent and loud enough that they keep their phone away from their ear when I answer.

Using a stock Wing (TMO factory ROM) with either a Jabra BT500 (most of the time), a Plantronics 590 or a Plantronics 6xx headset, same result with all.

Anyone experience similar or have ideas how to resolve?

Noone has mentioned it to me yet (just got my wing yesterday) but my MDA definitely did that on occassion. Only did it when it was on vibrate too...I think people were actually hearing the mechanical vibration on their end. And it only happenned via BT...which made it even stranger since that meant the mic wasn't even part of the phone.

Amazing, that's exactly what the problem was!

Apparently even when you answer via BT, the internal microphone is enabled for a second or two and it picks up the sound of the vibration motor.

Thanks for the advice, now to gripe to TMO or someone about the problem for what it's worth.

my mda has been doing the same thing for the past 2 days... but on all calls incoming and outgoing without the bt and it starts up with the bt but stops after a second.. is there anything to do to fix it?
